I've been trying to run a Roll20 homebrew campaign for Pathfinder RPG for a couple months... but that came to a crash. Anyway, I'm looking for a group (either as player or as GM) to play on Saturdays...
I'm sort of in the same boat. Friends and I used to play over Skype, and our GM had a huge homebrew world set up. It was fun while it lasted, but now everyone's a few years into college, and/or studying overseas, so between being busy and having goofy time zone issues, the games have sorta faded away.
For me, I have too much free time. I take boredom naps quite frequently. The only things I do are on Monday and Wednesday nights, and I'm just twiddling my thumbs otherwise. I'd really prefer not GMing, but I do have a massive amount of typically-eccentric PCs lying around.
I totally agree with that. I hope we can start soon!
I am so fantastically free on Saturdays that it's astounding. I've actually been cleaning my apartment, dusting and vacuuming, all that stuff. I'm scaring myself.

I know that feel, bro.
Skype's Remiaryn, in case anyone's bored enough to just chat, or maybe brainstorm campaigns/PCs. I may also be able to grab someone to join in, but he's on a trip right now, and is a bit busy beyond that, but I suppose it's worth a shot.
Obviously, I have to start at level 20.
But in all seriousness, for balancing issues, it's good to have an even-footed party. Perhaps a character could be role-played as less experienced or confident, though. In any case, I've already got my Skype name in here, and I'd enjoy knowing about the campaign that'll be run, if possible. :)
So, are we using Skype or Roll20?
I'm used to chatting in Skype while using Roll20, since the built-in voice doesn't seem to agree with several people in that group.
I would be interested in playing something on Saturdays. Don't know what timezones you're in, I'm in England so can't go too late but anything up to about 1am GMT (Eastern +5) is okay with me.
That sounds good to me, and since it appears that we now have GM, what are we waiting for?
My timezone is GMT -4:30, so it won't be a problem, unless you want me to play while I'm taking lunch :P
I'm on GMT -6, and will go to -5 starting next Sunday, but my sleeping schedule is entirely erratic and flexible. In fact, I've mucked it up pretty badly by sleeping all day already.
I'm from the UK aswell and quite interested however I cannot play on a saturday :(
Oldswifty - happy to DM, but haven't ever played over the net before, so bear with me. I have explored Roll 20, and that seems to work okay.
Shamlyn - what days are good for you? I play tabletop on Tuesdays but Thursdays/Fridays/Sundays are all possibles. If Saturday goes well, I could run a second (virtual) table.
Okay, so we've got a group, but what do we want to play? Anyone got anything they really do want to have a go at? I've got all the adventure paths but can do something sandboxy too.
About APs, I would like Rise of the Runelords, Legacy of Fire or Jade Regent (the last I've played... sort of). Anyway, since you are the GM, I'll let you to choose...
So how about setting a time, 8pm GMT this Saturday, I'll put on contact details on here before then, but I have to get to a tabletop game now.
Anyone want to call dibs on a type of character they want to play?
I'm fine with it (8 pm GMT will be like 3:30 pm in my country) but I would prefer 15 or 30 mins later. In any case, count me in!
Since english is not my native language, I would prefer going with a less-RP type of character: may it be the iconical big, simple and friendly killing machine (a.k.a. Fighter) or a grumpy wizard (perhaps a necromancer)...
I can make a Wednasday or Thursday but I completely understand if running a second group is to much to handle :-)
I uhm, I'm in a Rise of the Runelords game currently... I suppose I can use my fantastic acting skills and not meta-game, and I also missed the entirety of the first book anyways (joined late after someone dropped).
I'd like to play a thrown-weapon character, and I'm still working out how I want to class/race it, but I'll be throwing daggers, swords, all sorts of things.
I'm also pretty RP-heavy. I love writing and interacting with NPCs and other PCs. I won't go into novel territory, though, so hopefully that'll work.
Thursday is good for me. Wednesday and Monday are my only scheduling conflicts.
Check out the Chirurgeon archetype for Alchemists. That'll fill both needs. :)
Sadly enough, Thursdays is not an option for me.
Maybe Fridays past 5:00 pm (GMT -4:30)
Still waiting for the crew's final word.
P.D.: On a side note, RP will be made through writing or speaking?
I'm better english writer than speaker...
Fridays are a no go for me... can you do sundays?
I'm afraid not. On sundays afternoon I'm playing a tabletop D&D 3.5 campaign, so I prefer to take some space between sessions.
I would much rather type out everything. As much as I enjoy acting, my voice is... Not really suitable to the characters I usually want to play. Something about immersion breaking. Plus, it'd make a nice log of everything that happens, and would be useful if someone missed a group or had to run afk for whatever reason.
Typically, Skype for shenanigans, text for everything else.
Sandbox is fine with me.
As far as Roll20's A/V, I'm not entirely trusting of it, as it doesn't like to work for several people I play with. Earlier in the thread, we'd thought about using Skype for chat, and Roll20 for everything in-game. It may go a small bit slower, but then again, it also means people can be typing actions and dialogue in Roll20 while everyone else is making dumb jokes and talking about random things, or actually discussing things ooc.

+1 to this.
Tuesday afternoons (which the time we currently would be playing in would land me) may be a bit of a problem. My schedule is a little in-the-air as far as activities go right now, and I'll know for sure if I can change it around in two weeks.
